".. this morulng with almcstr dramatic
suddenness Er 3 effect into a ' staie
ment by; Mr. FI:her zs, to his : own
; policy-with .re cri to the Governor of
this Territory. That pclicy, as he de
r cl&red it, eff-hahd but .with consider
able vigor, is of recognizing the Gov
' ' ernor's administraticn, of .consulting
him with regard to political appoint
ments, and of cooperating with him. '
Moreover, the Secretary of the Inte
rior took the occasion to assert with
even more vigor, his big voice booming
. out Into tht Senate chamber with un
mlstakable emphasis .that so 'far. as
he is aware; the national admlnlstra
tion has never failed to support Gov
ernor Frear. . . .
..t, This EUdden turn 'to a ratherrun
eventful hearing came toward the end
- of -the morning. Attorney C. W. Ash
ford, whose illness last Saturday pre-
vented him from appearing forthe
' V Delegate,. had made a lengthy, state
. ment on setting forth the Delegate's
: attitude. Then Mr. Fisher called upon
"Mr. Carter." Both the ex-Governor
and ' A. W. Carter, who Is a member
' or the land' board, were present, and
George R. was the ons to answer the
calL It appeared a little later that
s Mr. Fisher might have meant the Par
. - .ker ranch manager, as he -was under
; " the Impression that George R.- was a
member of the land board, but, at any
rate, Jeorge It, helped furnish' the
- fireworks. v-"
Mr. Carter did r It , by starting Off
' with Ms own reasons tor not. support
ing Governor Frear for reappointment,
and began his reasons with the alle
. gatlon that. Governor Frear; has not
-received the support; of? the : national
' - , administration and Is not close enough
In touch with VWashington." He took
, .' the ground " taken In that famous In
terview some time ago in which -he
declared that Frear'a reappointment
would be a "tactical mistake. x :
' :He had gone only a short distance
in this direction; however, when ' Mr. 4
. ; Fisher, Interrupting, declared that he
didn't know of any such lack' of sup
: port and. there ensued a rapid fire of
questions ani: rejoinders as to what
Mr: Carter meant by lack of support
aod .how far. Governor Frear is to be
consulted on Judicial appointments,
etc Mr, Fisher said he didn't think
Frear would have anything to do with
, judicial - appointments.- Then the dia
. cussion turned upon . the policies ' of
i Territorial and national admlnlstra-
tions and their relations. Finally,
- V without much light having been shed
. " upon the subject, but with Mr: Carter
: - (iultesure that Governor Frear 'had
not' received proper support from the

and' James Rath, chatting leisurely.
. At ; a : table Mn the center 1 of the
chamber, directly In 'front ' of .v - the
chairman and with his back to the
audience, sat . Governor Frear, with
his attorneys,, Clarence; H; Olson and
6 R. Hemenway. Just mauka of this
table 'was another desk, at which sat
Prince Kuhio and Attorney C. w. Ash
ford: a;: :
On taking his place as chairman, the
Secretary opened the proceedings by
greeting Attorney Ashford, comment
ing on the tatter's absence from Sat
urday's hearing. Asked if he - had
gained a knowledge of .that meeting's
doings,' Ashford. replied he had read
it in the. newspapers. Fisher . replied
those accounts had been , fairly ; accu
rate.: : ; ,i . r:: -' ;
Fisher then asked the attorney to
outline Kuhlo's charges.. "A moment
later, at the request of Attorney Ol
son, the names .'of ; the..: Governor's
counsel were entered on. record as
such, , - ir ;,:. . . ':-V
.Ashford,: In ; his opening statement,
said the Delegate, had .been somewhat
embarrassed by the absence of his own
counsel. He then proceieded Immedi
ately to outline the Prince's charges.
He- explained the business . and pro
fessional standingin the Territory of
the attorneys for the Governor, and
why, for. that s reason,"' his own client,
the Prince, was placed In an 'embar
rassing position! . : ' . -
He made a special . request that,
owing to his own physical illness, he
be permitted to sit during the hear
ing. Fisher graciously granted the re
quest, suggesting that Ashford inform
him . if he became 'too weakened to
proceed' with his work at the' inquiry.
Ashford . said " he thought that .Gov
ernor Frear's figures of Saturday, giv
ing 35,000 acres as capable of being
given out' to homesteaders, might be
revised and .materially increased, r . .
3. Discussing F. M. Swanzy's statement
of Saturday,- that the rental system
is. preferable tothe homesteading sys
tem," he said he believed the latter
system would; give f ac greater rere
nues to the government r 9-
He said laws' should prohibit further
rental to large interests. "As; for In
stance," he said, "no one man should
have morp than (0 acres of, irrigated
land, while no one , should have more
than, 500, acres, of grazing . land.
, :Ours Js a peculiar situation here,"
he ,sald, a little later, explaining the
wonderful ' mixture of, world races of
men. He declared we are not an Amer
ican community save as a possession
of, the United States. The vast ; ma
jority, of the people are aliens even
to the soil itself. Discussing the races,
he said the Chinese have been found
thrifty 'and quite desirable, but .when
immigration of that race was check
ed, the Japanese began coming in such
hordes (hat at present that race forms
the great - majority of people in the
Islands. : v ,
;- He issued. a warning against the
Japanese, ,: declaring that in a, few
years they will control the ballot here.
"All business, they say, is selfish," he
declared; , "and , I believe the planta
tions are the only ones still in favor
of further importation of . the Japan-ese.-

favor In the division of publie lands,
A population -of 'Americans shbuld be'
established - here. If It can be "found
practicable, he said, because, those peo
ple will be especially desirable to the
United Statea.in the event of war..
.v While be .was ; not-, ready '. to issue a
cry of, alarm agairifet Orientalism," he
thought .the Americans ' should ' be far
more desirable.-: "Put an American on
guard he declared; ! ;
r Discussing; Swanzy's statement ::of
Saturday that the small owner idea Is
impracticable because of the necessity
of great - expenditures for irrigation,
he said , the theory, is not tenable, be
cause the - government-' can take over
water sources and handle them 'for the
benefit of the people, as is done in the
Stafes:,:;-;,; ;-'..,':' - J-:Xf-' .s
If, the land of Waiakea' were with
drawn from rental and ; homestead ed,
the land' would be taken : up and the
cultivation of cane would proceed al
most ; without Interruption. ; Home
steads should be of not less than 40
acres cf. cane land per . tract : ' He
thought a homestead should . consist,
ordinarily, or 40 to 160 or more, acres,
and'" thought it correct that - V home-
steafler? should be able to hire such
help' ksvv'ls ? necessary to do the re
quired work on his land. -". -. ''
r. What, kind or quality of cane land
are'jou' speaking . of?" Fisher asked.
"What tonnage per acre? Forty acres
raising" 30 . or 40 . tons per ; acre could
be handled by one1 homesteader?'
Yes,?. - X.:-:-r :, -: '-. X:- X-':
Fisher asked, if he thought the farm
er here, should be. required: to do as
much' work here "as in the States. Ash
ford said the farmers in the States
are 'using Grand pianos, riding In au
tomobiles and yet seemed to be doing
as much actual. farming as ever.
Fisher reminded him that only about
700 farmers, could - get parcels of the
555,000 acres Jto be opened in theTer
ritory If they were to get . 50 - acres
each.'- Ashford agreed that such would
be 'the 'Case. He further agreed that
the system should be such that the
homesteader should be a physical la
borer on the 'ground, at the same , time
employing such labor as is necessary
to bring the land to high state of pro
duction , Ashford said he didn't believe the
general theory here that t the white
man won't labor . In the tropical cli
mate, "-He declared his belief that the
underlying : reason for the white set
tlers failure generally here is the con
ditions brought about by the great
land .owners, who do not want them.
; Fisher asked if he thought the
American farmer would continue. 'to
be" a constant worker on ' the land.
Ashford' replied that he thought they
would. - : .
Walter A Bradley and Byron O.
Clarke, ; Ashford sald,r probably , could
give facts on this' phase of i the ques
tion. . Others who might also assist
he saidare E, K. Ellsworth, In charge
of pineapple lands on Oahu, and W.
E. McWayne. - -
As to requirements as to residence,
Ashford thought that would not be
absolutely, necessary, though desirable.
There should be no absentee landlord
ism. There have been so many inquiries
from Americans regarding homesteads

from abstracts of? the army, appro

ical changes have been . legislated in
to the organization of the army,
which are of direct interest 'not 'only
to the line and staff officers, hut -also
to the rank and file of the enlisted
men. ; Some experiments, are to 'be
madet with the term of enlistment,
and with' the creation of , a reserve,
that will be watched with general In

The provision of the House for a
five-year enlistment was modified to
provide for a even-year term four
